Eye of the needle
It has been almost 6 months since I have been able to put together an image. The Weather in Northern CA has been bad plus I became a grandpa 1 month ago!
This image is of a galaxy that is well known but I have never imaged it. I was pleased to find details embedded in the core area that remind me of the disk of M104.

Thanks for taking the time to look and I hope everyone is doing well.
Kindest Regards,

Very fine image Ken 
I am amazed at how far the north bulge? extends, that 13 mag star is buried in it. but in the eyepiece is quite seperate.
All is well here 
Cheers

That's a beauty Ken. Surely one of the best NGC 4565 images ever.

A superb image Ken, the detail is great and looking very natural. There is a lot going on in the dust lanes, it's a pleasure exploring an image like this. Best NGC4565 I ever saw for sure.

What a beautifully detailed image, Ken. Just stunning detail, almost prettier than M104 but not quite
This is now IOTW.
Congratulations on becoming a grandfather!
